The present study examined young group identification and young group motives (i.e., self-esteem, distinctiveness, belonging, meaning, efficacy, and continuity) as predictors of ambivalent ageism, stereotyping of older people, aging anxiety, and life satisfaction among Turkish university students. Participants (N = 226) completed scales measuring age group identification, social identity motives, ambivalent ageism, stereotyping of older people, aging anxiety, and life satisfaction. Multiple hierarchical regression analyses showed that belonging to a young group was a significant predictor for ambivalent ageism. Young group identification and meaning were significant predictors for negative stereotyping of older people. Young group self-esteem was a significant predictor for aging anxiety. Young group identification, self-esteem, and meaning were significant predictors for life satisfaction. None of the independent variables was a significant predictor for positive stereotyping of older people.

本研究调查了青年群体的认同感和青年群体的动机（即，自尊，独特性，归属，意义，功效和连续性），作为土耳其大学生矛盾性年龄歧视，老年人的定型观念，老龄化焦虑和生活满意度的预测指标。参与者（N = 226）完成了量表，用于测量年龄组识别，社会认同动机，矛盾的年龄主义，老年人的定型观念，焦虑症和生活满意度。多元层次回归分析表明，属于年轻群体是矛盾年龄歧视的重要预测因素。年轻的群体识别和意义是老年人负面定型观念的重要预测因素。青年组的自尊心是衰老焦虑的重要预测因子。青年组识别，自尊，和意义是生活满意度的重要预测因子。自变量都不是老年人积极定型观念的重要预测指标。
